The new snow has opened up so much terrain. Bluebird with fresh snow one couldn't ask for a better day skiing this early.

Bountiful Utah

Only 4inch on the report but snowbird was skiing great. The Gad area has still se soft snow and great runs. Early season conditions though so watch out for rocks and bring your rock skis.

Awesome powder this morning snowed about all day!

Nice conditions. Wouldn't recommend lower chips as getting there is a bit rough. More snow would be a big help but for now it's sunny!

Good snow yesterday middle cirque was great in the morning.

pretty crusty top layers today. they seem to be softening up in the sun. the cover is getting thinner so watch out for rocks. skied deer valley yesterday and park city has the worst snow and conditions in utah. snowbird is where the early season skiing is at today.

It's dumping right now!! Coming up for the weekend. 9' in the last 12 hours!

We are skiing and it's snowing! This photo was taken during a break in the snow. Little Cloud was turning for a bit.
